For Sale Mamiya RB67 mix & match 65, 90, 127, 180

asamimasa · Dec 6, 2013

A bit of a strange situation here, I bought 2 kits to try to collect the 65 and 180, but I've given in and going back to Hasselblad, so they've all gotta go. I have 2 Kenko skylight filters and 2 mamiya caps; first one to buy a set gets to choose how much of that they'd like included. First to buy also gets their choice of a rear body cap and/or front body cap.

What's available-

RB67 Pro-s body
RB67 body (some paint loss along lens mount end of bellow)

65mm 4.5
90mm 3.8 C (has slight fogging in a corner internally, but in the 9 months of using it, the imperfection hasn't been visible in results. Has a 'H-O' engraving from previous owner)
127mm 3.8
180mm 4.5 C
2x Pro-s 120 back
2x 120 back

Unmetered eye-level finder
Waist level finder

Standard focusing screen
5x5 grid focusing screen

As far as I can tell from results, they all have accurate shutter speeds, and no other mechanical issues. Havne't had light leak issues with any of the backs.

Not quite sure how to price these, so I am open to offers. An example pricing would be $550 for the Pro-S body, 65mm, and 127mm with waist level finder and 2 backs. However, please select a kit consisting of a body, 2 lenses, 2 backs, a finder, and screen so I'm not stuck trying to sell off individual items later on.

Pics coming soon.

I am curious about what drove your decisions to switch from Hasselblad to Mamiya, and then back again. Do you mind elaborating for us?
Good luck with the sale.

Lots of indecision, mostly. Started out with the Mamiya, and made the mistake of playing with one while visiting B&H. Picked up a Leica, and felt guilty having a Leica and Hasselblad for ~50mm equivalent, and sold off the Hasselblad first. Decided to use ~28mm and 85mm for 6x7 mamiya, but have still yet to ever take it out (student life impedes photographic funtimes ). On the digital end of things, I've decided to pick up the Ricoh GR and use that for my compact/pocket spot meter solution, and a Blad+80mm for the occasions I do want to use 120 film.

I am the other way. Have always been Mamiya and wanted to shoot Hasselblad. Started acquiring Hasselblad based on 70mm. Got everything in spades except a lens for hassie. 2 bodies, 2 wlf, 3 or 4 backs including a 70mm, lots of cassettes. Sold my RB with a bunch of lenses 180mm on down to 55mm a bunch of other goodies. Even a 70mm long roll back.
Just found out I could get a 70mm back for Mamiya. Never knew that.

Now I want Mamiya back and will keep my 70mm items and get rid of Hassie items.. Just need to find right deal.

asamimasa · Dec 8, 2013

Gonna point out that I'd ideally like to get this sold in only two sales- one package of body, screen, finder, 2 lenses, 2backs, and then another sale of what remains. Really not keen on doing a bunch of smaller, partial sales.

Gotta ask, what kind of student has the money to buy both Mamiya, Leica, and Hassleblad cameras on a "whim of indecision"?? Geeze...

Anyway maybe before you sell anything you should actually shoot some of the cameras.

Just a suggestion.

Why not pose this as a trade rather than posting your own stuff to sell on someone else's thread? Lol you both seem to want the opposite persons system.

Also if you're doing research for 70mm stuff I would learn what items are available before you go and buy a whole system. I shoot 70mm a lot and I can tell you from experience some of the equipment isn't easy to come by.

I'll PM you.

I actually did a lot of research with one important exception. I never saw a short load 70mm back for Mamiya until I started coming on apug more often. I do have the Beattie Long Roll for Mamiya. I am not entirely positive, but pretty sure I have enough for my Jobo to process it all, but not the dedicated #2517. I didn't buy the whole Mamiya system based on 70mm. I bought it because a local camera store went out of business and he offered me a very good deal if I bought everything at once. I used that for four years before selling it to a local student. I can also say, it took me over a year to sell it all off. I don't do ebay.

OH that's your main issue, you don't do eBay! Lol could be a smart move but it's not easy finding some stuff without eBay.

patrickth · Dec 9, 2013

I buy lots of stuff on ebay, just never sell. I think without going and looking I have about 500 buys or wins. I know they are going to change my star or whatever soon to a new color or some such.

asamimasa · Jan 6, 2014

bump!

springnar · Jan 6, 2014

would the prism viewfinder fit on an rz? and how much would you want to part with that?

asamimasa · Jan 8, 2014

rb finders fit on the rz, but not the other way around. I'd rather keep it down to a whole set, it gets very tricky to sell off everything but a finder.

PtJudeRI · Jan 8, 2014

Im interested in that 5x5 screen... Still available? Price??

asamimasa · Jan 27, 2014

Items still available, but I am not selling off individual components

edcculus · Apr 21, 2014

Haha, i was thinking the same thing. There are a lot of people who shoot RB67 on this forum. You would probably do very well parting this out. By parting it out, you open yourself up to every member of this forum who owns an RB67. By selling as a kit, you limit yourself only to people who do not own, but want to own a RB. Just sayin.

chang · Apr 24, 2014

Interested in the Eye level viewfinder and the 65mm if you ever decide to sell them off individually, pls let me know

asamimasa · Apr 24, 2014

Alrighty, well since there seems to be significant interest in many of the items, I'll start parting them out. PMs sent to those who posted.
